Info
Chinese American Bear hit Where Else? in Margate on 21 May 2026 with a set shaped by bilingual pop in Mandarin and English. Based in Seattle, the duo of Lingbo Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten write crisp, melody-first songs that slide between C-pop, indie pop and a light neo-psychedelic haze. Born from an intimate intercultural story, she grew up between China and the US, he came from New York indie bands and learned Mandarin as they began writing. The project started in 2020 and widened its audience with Hao Ma in 2021. Their self-titled debut arrived in 2022, followed by Wah!!! in 2024 and Dim Sum & Then Some in 2026. Onstage, they lean into themes of language, childhood, family and food with a colorful, gently dreamy touch.
Opening, London singer-songwriter Alice Costelloe reconnects with a path that began in Big Deal on Mute, before a turn toward a leaner solo palette. Under the names Al Costelloe then Alice Costelloe, she released the EP So Neurotic in 2023, then When It's The Time in 2024 on Moshi Moshi with producer Mike Lindsay. Her recent songs move through art-pop and indie pop with psych shades, trading guitar weight for textures, keys and light arrangements. New album Move On With The Year (2026) brings lyrics tied to family ties, loss and the work of moving forward.
